Default Consumer Reports ,best buy, irons

Best buy irons they tested and recommend are the Singer, Expert Finish EF at about $60. and the Rowenta, Effective Comfort DV2070 at about $50. The list of the other 6 they recommend is in the May 2013 issue of Consumer Reports.
The topic always comes up about which one is best so thought I would pass on the latest info.

This is good timing! My GE iron, that I absolutely love, is on its last legs.

I have owned 2 different Rowenta irons, they both leaked and had never been dropped. I would never
buy another one of their irons.

I had the same experience--I was not going to try with a 3rd Rowenta. I have a Reliable now and love it.
